- According to the Emergency Event Database, the total global deaths per decade from climate-related disasters has fallen by more than 96% since the 1920s.
- Data show that between 1960 and 2020, there was an unprecedented decrease in climate-related deaths compared to the period between 1920 and 1959.
- This decline is even more impressive considering that the global population has more than quadrupled during this period, from about 2 billion in 1920 to nearly 8 billion by 2020.
- The dramatic reduction in fatalities is not just a statistic; it represents a fundamental improvement in our species’ ability to adapt and withstand the forces of nature. It’s a story of triumph over adversity and of innovation in the face of danger.
